yes, a lot of PF are seen with the lens, one need to stop down to at least f/8.0 and avoid contrast areas. It is a cheap and sharp lens but it comes with PF unfortunately. A better lens will be the Pentax DA 55-300mm.

Do you notice any purple fringing with this lens?

I have the Tamron LD 75-300mm f/4-5.6. Someone on eBay didn't know how to spell Tamron so relatively few people saw it. It's absolutely mint and I was the only bidder. I got it for $20.00! He sent the wrong hood. The only one I could find is silver so it looks kind of weird but I don't care.

I took it on a cruise to Alaska in 2006 and got some stunning images using it on the *ist DL.

Doron, thanks for the visit and comment. I think the "bright mode" is the default in K100D and perhaps K200D. Check on Image Tone to be sure. As for Sigma 70-300mm, it is a better lens in terms of Purple Fringe control. In terms of sharpness and values, I think both are very close. I assume the build on Sigma is a bit better. Both do good in casual close up.

Thanks for the comment. The bright mode that I refer to is one of the two image tone available on K10D and K100D: Bright (some refer as vivid color) & Natural. The default image tone on K100D is "bright" mode but on K10D, the default is "natural" mode.
